   We tried the 2 courses lunch. The starter size is big enough. We love the Casserole.

   Absolutely spectacular from the moment you arrive. Beautiful decor, wonderful atmosphere, attentive staff. And the food is something else. So tasty. I want to go back and I've only just got home.

   A truly exceptional meal! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I particularly recomend the conservatory area. The food was phenomenal and the price is pretty reasonable for the quality of the meals and the vibe of the restaurant. The service was also great, very helpful and friendly but not intrusive. I came with my Dad for my birthday and we shared the mixed meze plate (the fresh baked levash bread with the spiced butter and the içli köfte were particularly exceptional). We then shared a mixed grill (the lamb chops and the chicken wings were my favourite) and a findik lahmacun for mains. We just managed to squeeze in a delicious serve of the katmer for dessert. The servings are generous, delicious and beautifully presented! The only thing that would have really made it better would be some kind of refreshing house-made fresh lemon drink or similar, but the ginger beer was still pretty great! Definitely one of my new favourite places in Manchester.

   food - great and super tasteful and well cooked. we ordered some appetisers, the mixed grill and the mixed seafood grill/plate. it was realy good and we filled ourselves too much for dessert. that saffron rice was so good. service - good but can be sorta slow? the food came pretty quick and we didnt have to wait too long. drinks arrived after appetisers which was a little strange but oh wells. no complaints about the staff tho. atmosphere - really nice and pretty. they have a sort of balcony seating which is decorated beautifully. however there was a big group so the place was a little noisy but no fault of the restaurant. overall, really great place and food was amazing. will return again

   Honestly I don't know any other food, how it is cooked. However when it comes to sea food, this place is definitely underrated. Price is super reasonable and taste is beyond expectation. Seafood platter for 2 people are about 40 pounds (20 pounds per person) including rice and salad each. Taste of fish was not too salty or too greasy. It is just worth of visit and if anybody likes seafood, this is the place to visit 100 percent sure!

   I really wanted to enjoy this place and give it 5 stars after reading all the other positive reviews, but I can only go off our experience. First of all, the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the decor is well thought out and designed. The staff were all polite, warm and friendly. Once ordered, the food was incredibly quick. Unfortunately, the experience was let down by the waiting times. We waited 15-20 minutes from sitting down just to order drinks. When our table was 'cleared', they left the cold remainders of my partner's fish dish in front of her until after we'd paid the bill (which again came after a very long wait). The staff all seemed ran off their feet, and the restaurant wasn't anywhere near full capacity. It was, at most, half full so I'm not sure how they cope on Friday or Saturday nights. Unsure if they were just understaffed or having a bad night during our visit. The food itself was fine, large portions so you won't be left hungry but my chicken sizzler dish was incredibly oily.

   First visit for us and we were both very impressed. We visited on a Saturday afternoon after using Google to search to find a local restaurant and deciding on here based on the pictures. I have shared a few pictures from our visit for you as we ordered what we saw online typical choosing to eat with our eyes! The food was really nice and the pictures really do, do the food justice. Everything was fresh and was everything we'd hoped for. Service was a little quiet in terms of check ins but the interactions we did have were polite and friendly. I would have been happy to share how happy we were with everything, especially the starters that we had chosen, but that opportunity didn't arise. We did hear a table nearby be asked how everything was so I wouldn't take away to much from this. Overall a really nice visit. We couldn't manage dessert, but we will definitely be back. Some other information. We called beforehand to make sure they could accommodate us which they could but you can also book 30 minutes in advance specifying indoors or out via the website, availability permiting. There was only one other family dining when we arrived so it was nice and quiet and this was around 12 on a Saturday. We chose to sit out as it is still enclosed and heated which was nice. It did pickup whilst we were there but it was ok for walk-ins.
